Cheat codes are a common staple in the world of gaming. They help developers test areas and elements of the game without needing to stop anything, effectively speeding up development. The original Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver features many cheats that allow players to heal up mid-fight, unlock abilities early, and remove limitations they may face.

Some players may be wondering, “do cheat codes work in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered?” The answer is yes, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered retains all the original games’ cheat codes, allowing players to effectively bypass large portions of the game entirely and become the most powerful they can be right from the start of the game.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Cheat List

Legacy of Kain_ Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered first game paused for cheats

In order to activate a cheat, the player must be in-game. Players on the PC will be able to press a certain number combination on their keyboard while the game is paused to trigger a cheat activation. Console players, on the other hand, will need to hold down both L1 and R1 on their PlayStation controller or the left and right bumpers of their Xbox controller while the game is paused. This will be followed by a button sequence. Below is a table of all the game’s cheats, as well as both PC number sequences and console button sequences.

PC players using a controller can use either of these options while their game is paused.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 Cheat List

Legacy of Kian: Soul Reaver 2 did not have cheats to progress through the game like its predecessor offered. In past versions of the game, players could unlock plenty of bonus content after completing the game. However, they could also speed things along with a cheat code in the game's main menu to unlock a plethora of artwork, videos, and music.

After extensive testing, it does not seem any of the Soul Reaver 2 cheat codes seem to work. However, this might be due to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered having a bonus section at the bottom of the game selection screen.
